 AN  ACT  to  amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to allowing a
   court to waive certain surcharges and  fees;  and  to  repeal  certain
   provisions of the penal law relating thereto
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 420.35 of the  criminal  procedure
 law, as amended by chapter 189 of the laws of 2018, is amended and a new
 subdivision 2-a is added to read as follows:
   2. [Under] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SUBDIVISION OR SUBDIVISION TWO-A
 OF  THIS  SECTION, UNDER no circumstances shall the mandatory surcharge,
 sex offender registration fee, DNA databank  fee  or  the  crime  victim
 assistance  fee be waived [provided, however, that a court may waive the
 crime victim assistance fee if such defendant is an  eligible  youth  as
 defined  in  subdivision  two of section 720.10 of this chapter, and the
 imposition of such fee  would  work  an  unreasonable  hardship  on  the
 defendant,  his  or  her  immediate  family,  or any other person who is
 dependent on such defendant for financial support]. A court shall  waive
 any  mandatory  surcharge,  DNA databank fee and crime victim assistance
 fee when: (i) the defendant is convicted of loitering for the purpose of
 engaging in prostitution under section 240.37 of the penal law (provided
 that the defendant was not convicted of loitering  for  the  purpose  of
 patronizing  a person for prostitution); (ii) the defendant is convicted
 of prostitution under section 230.00 of the penal law; (iii) the defend-
 ant is convicted of a violation in the event such conviction is in  lieu
 of  a plea to or conviction for loitering for the purpose of engaging in
 prostitution under section 240.37 of the penal law  (provided  that  the
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
